"In 2017, AJC Architects reimagined this understated modern mid-century rambler into one of the Upper Avenues' most compelling architectural renovations. Perched on the north side of Aloha with sweeping mountain and valley views, this home masterfully blends timeless mid-century design with elevated modern living. Elegant yet comfortable, the spacious main-floor living area is designed for effortless entertaining, anchored by an original 18-foot sandstone wall, exposed wood beams, custom built-ins, bench seating, and a gas fireplace. South-facing sliding glass doors open to a private patio, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living. The home office features a hidden wet bar - a nostalgic nod to the sophisticated entertaining culture of the 1950s.Thoughtfully designed, the kitchen combines beauty and function with solid wood Peppertree cabinetry, quartz and Caesarstone countertops, floating shelves, glass block backsplash, stainless steel Miele and Sub-Zero appliances, double ovens, pullout drawers, under-cabinet lighting, on-demand hot water faucet, abundant natural light, and a sink perfectly positioned to capture the views. A nearby walk-in pantry adds convenience, while the nostalgic pass-through window connects seamlessly to the formal dining room. Beautiful hardwood floors run throughout, while all stone tile flooring is enhanced with radiant heat. The spacious primary suite offers a private retreat with backyard access, built-in dresser, generous closet with custom shelving, dual-sink vanity, jetted tub, walk-in shower, and separate water closet. The lower level includes a private bedroom suite, egress windows, plus additional flex space which can be used as a bedroom. Additional highlights include a spacious main-floor laundry room, mudroom, original doorbell chimes, pocket doors, art niches, custom wood handrails, whole-house water filtration system, and seismic retrofitting. Outdoor living is equally impressive with planter boxes, a water feature with gas fireplace, aluminum pergola with canvas awning, and storage shed included. The garage has a 220V outlet. Close to private neighborhood swimming pool, public parks, pickleball courts, University campus and airport.
